Serious Problem With My Endlers :(

[abe]

I need some help asap. I have a handful of endlers, and it seems that a few of them are pretty sickly looking and some others seem to be getting it as well. I was *trying* to breed them, but I only have a few females left and now this happened. Here is a pic:

I haven't had a major disease outbreak in so long I forgot alot about them, heh. Is it fin rot? bacterial infection? The only things I have to treat them at the moment are Furan-2, melafix, Wardley's "complete remedy", ick clear, and some salt. Should I try one of those out?

Any help is greatly appreciated!


OOps, forgot some info... I don't have a test kit (actually I ordered one, but it has yet to arrive) so I can't give a whole lot. But, the tank size is 15g, the only things in it are the endlers, a ghost shrimp, and a bamboo shrimp. I keep the temp around 78ish, and I try to make weekly water changes.

Maracyn one and two for bad bacterial finrot, or tetracycline if you can issolate the fish for treatment.

This is crazy... From some time last night until now, all but one of them have died.

Just did a water change, hopefully that will help.

Poor things, R.I.P.
Sounds like a bad bacterial infections, was there any others signs to go on.

I don't think so, I have a habit of catching things late but I've been watching them more often lately.

I live far away from any pet stores, so I put in some Furan-2 after the water change. One or both of those seems to be helping She's alive anyway at least.

Is that stuff ok with shrimp? It didn't say, but I always worry about that stuff.

Not sure as it says noting about them, safe with scaless fish, but it should be ok i think.
